A man with three gunshot wounds was able to give deputies the name of the suspect, but so far, the suspect has avoided capture.

Deputies went to the Meadow Run apartment complex on Abbeville Highway in the Homeland Park area after a 911 call Wednesday morning.

Deputies found the victim, Christopher Brandon Higginbotham, in the bathroom of one of the apartments. Higginbotham had multiple gunshot wounds and a laceration on his forehead. He was transported to AnMed Health where he underwent surgery and is stable.

Witnesses told deputies that they saw a man flee into one of the apartment buildings.

Anderson County deputies evacuated three buildings and searched the complex. Deputies said during the search, they noticed an attic area that appeared to have been tampered with, so K-9s and a thermal imaging unit were used to search the attic. Deputies were unable to locate the man.

Deputies said Higginbotham identified the suspect in the shooting, 21-year-old Freshun Rodregus Mcintosh, from a photo lineup.

Mcintosh is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds. He has dreadlocks with red tips. Deputies said warrants have been signed against Mcintosh on charges of attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

Deputies said Mcintosh is considered armed and dangerous.
